Question
Prove that:
(cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A) sec2 A = tan A
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = (cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A) × sec2 A
= `(1/sinA - sinA)(1/cosA - cosA) xx sec^2A` ...`{∵ cosec theta = 1/sintheta, sectheta = 1/costheta, 1 - sin^2theta = cos^2theta, 1 - cos^2theta = sin^2theta}`
= `((1 - sin^2A)/sinA)((1 - cos^2A)/cosA) 1/(cos^2A)`
= `(cos^2A)/(sinA)*(sin^2A)/(cosA)*1/(cos^2A)`
= `sinA/cosA`
= tan A = R.H.S.
